Daily Bread Grants

The Daily Bread Grants, offered by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, aim to support congregations with feeding ministries. Starting from November 1st, organizations can apply for $500 grants to help alleviate hunger in their communities. Priority is given to rural ministries, and applications will be accepted until funds are exhausted or until November 15th. This initiative not only provides immediate assistance but also encourages further financial support for food-based services.

Note: Funding requests will be accepted beginning November 1st on a rolling basis until all the funds are expended or for two weeks minimum, closing November 15th at midnight central time (as indicated above).
